Northwood - Tara Hotels, Orinda

"Everything was great, locations , staff, amenities, the backyard is very welcoming and intertaining "

"Room was pleasant and had a nice view of the city. The location was great too. Right in the heart or Chinatown. Very walkable to explore the many shops and restaurants. If you are booking a Big Bus tour, that is also only a short 5 minute walk to the nearest stop located in el Embarcadero. Short walk to the cable car as well. This was my second stay here and I would definitely recommend. "

"Room was small and very outdated definitely not worth the 400+ a night price "

"Beautiful location. Clean, quiet, comfy bed. Older structure, expensive parking. But overall great stay"

"Great location and friendly staff! "

"Location and affordability are the best reason to stay at Embassy - you are in the middle of it all and can walk or ride within minutes of most of the best Downtown has. The location is gritty by some standards but the community around the Embassy pretty much stays to themselves - you are next to some great schools and great local restaurants - the Embassy is very clean, it is an older building and its age shows, but the staff keep things in great order. We had a double room which was very spacious there is no a/c but the window fully opened and let cooler air into the room. The floors and walls are thin - depending who your neighbors are you will hear conversations and know when they are walking around their rooms. The restroom is a great size good amenities and the shower/tub worked well. The room had an iron and board and hair dryer television is DirecTV and familiar to operate. Overall - if you're in town and need a safe comfortable affordable place to be your starting point in the city and your resting place in the evening your won't go wrong with the Embassy. "

"Great location. Near the waterfront and North Beach (you can walk to everything. Unfortunately, my room needed a reno. The carpet, shower head and office chair need to go. I also don't think it was cleaned very well. "

"Super close to the pier "
